Topsail Golf Club
One way to experience all that Topsail Beach has to offer is by playing an 18 hole round at this unique course. With views overlooking both Sydney Harbour and Pittwater, it’s one golf club worth checking out – especially if you’re a keen golfer.

For retail therapy in Wahroonga NSW head straight here – St Ives has everything including big name stores like Myer, David Jones and Woolworths Supermarkets all on one floor! It’s the ideal spot for families looking to spend an entire day shopping at ease without having to worry about parking or juggling children.
Royal National Park
This national park offers many sheltered picnic spots, walking tracks and cycling paths through some of Australia’s most beautiful scenery. Spend a few hours seeing koalas up close at one of their feedings or head out on an overnight hike with your family. If you’re feeling more adventurous try abseiling off rock faces! Fall asleep under the stars next to campfires after playing all day long. This is camping Australian-style – serene and peaceful with plenty of time just for you, your friends and family (and maybe an animal friend too). You’ll never forget this experience as it will be something that stays with you forever.
